Outside of the hometown thing, I don't see many things more appealing for him in Dallas than in Portland.

He has maybe two years with Dirk, whereas he has at least 4 with Aldridge (who is also from Dallas). We have more roster flexibility and potential than Dallas this year, and in the near future with two potential lottery picks, and Nico. And he is really close friends with Wessy.
